Why the models rank Checkov — on best infrastructure-as-code security scanners for ci pipelines
“Broad, mature coverage across Terraform/OpenTofu, plans, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Helm, Kustomize, Bicep, ARM, Serverless, and pipeline files; graph-based checks, custom policies, suppressions, SARIF, and strong CI ergonomics make it the best all-purpose choice.
